Measuring Information Systems Performance: Experience With the Management By Results System at Security Pacific Bank. (MIS Quarterly, 1988)
Authors: Abstract:
    In 1982, Security Pacific Automation Company (SPAC), the information systems subsidiary of Security Pacific Bank, undertook a number of changes to improve the data processing services they were providing to the Bank. Central to this effort was the development of the Management By Results (MBR)[1] system. Part of MBR was the introduction of a series of measures designed to track the success of the changes SPAC was undertaking. These measures were linked to each of the four major aspects of MBR: strategic planning, service level agreements, commitment planning, and performance appraisal and compensation. Although the introduction of MBR and its accompanying measures were not without problems, they are now well established; and they allow senior management to measure SPAC's contribution to the Bank at the operational, managerial, and strategic levels.
